Copyright protection error when trying to play original DVDs

[RussHank]

In windows media player I get the following message:
Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD because a problem occurred while configuring copyright protection.

In PowerDVD I get:
TheTV Out port of your display card is not working properly.
This copy protected disc can not be played when the TV out function is enabled.
( I don't even have a TV out port on my card ).

I've removed and reinstalled both applications but get the same message.

I suspect this started after I installed a sound card driver, removing it didn't help either....

Any advice, apart from rebuild!, gratefully received.

That type of video card are you using?

Assuming you have a regeistered copy, you can access tech support here: http://www.gocyberlink.com/english/cs/support/new_site/support_index.jsp

Make sure you have the most current drivers for your GeForce2 MX 100/200 video card:

Version: 71.84

well it might not be a good solution, but an easy solution would be to rip the dvd to an iso file with dvd decrypter & then mount the iso with daemon tools.. copy-protection free dvd.

sound like a codec problem to me. windows media player uses a third partie codec, hence PowerDVD. If PowerDVD fails to play it due to the codec, then wmp will also refuse to play it. Try an alternative palyer, like WinDVD.
